The recent upgrade of Weilai's smart cockpit hardware involves 8155 chips/5G modules, etc.

When will the NIO smart cockpit hardware upgrade be scheduled?This is what most old car owners of Weilai have been looking forward to.

We learned from NIO official that on June 1, Wei Jian, Senior Deputy Director of NIO User Operations, said, "The smart cockpit hardware upgrade plan consisting of 8155 chips, smart gateways, high-definition cameras, 5G modules, etc., will be held in the near future. announced at the new product launch.”

The current versions of ES8, ES6 and EC6 were all finalized in 2016, and were equipped with the strongest NVIDIA X1 car chip in that year, but it is indeed a little powerless after 5 years.After the hardware upgrade of the smart cockpit, it is expected that the network speed, APP operation, operation fluency, NOMI recognition rate and other functions will be significantly improved.

With supply chain companies resuming work and production, it is expected that production will resume further in June, and the delivery of models including ET7 will be accelerated.

Before and after the Dragon Boat Festival, it is suspected that NIO officially released ES7 to be released online on June 15, but the APP does not have an entrance.Combining with the "new product launch conference" mentioned by Wei Jian, we speculate that if conditions permit, NIO ES7 will be released on June 15 with a high probability, and announced that the 8155 chip, smart gateway will be released on June 15. , high-definition camera, 5G module and other components of the smart cockpit hardware upgrade plan.
